Mine's an '07, too. Apparently, the difference in slide stamps is the intended marketplace - P-01 for USA, Compact 75D for Europe. The gun shoots like a champ regardless of slide stamp.
rivviepop, do you know of anybody who makes fatter grips for the P-01? I seemed to shoot most accurately when I held the gun with a "deathgrip." I'm new to shooting, so maybe that's normal, but I'm cursed with big hands and stubby fingers. I'm thinking a set of wider grips might help.

Your best bet might be to contact a guy like this: http://www.czgrips.us/index.htm He can make you some custom grips, so you could get a set tailored to your hand size. Hakan also does the same thing, here's his gallery: http://www.imageseek.com/hakan/gallery/pcr

I just picked it up yesterday and immediately put 150 rounds through it. It is *very* accurate and just a pleasure to shoot. I love it! It's the first handgun I've owned, and I couldn't be more happy. Now for some new grips... Also, has anyone tried stripping off the polycoat? If so, what did you use, and what kind of finishing would you have to do in order to keep it from rusting? |

I was wondering how the 97B compares to a 1911. I would like to get a 1911, but I also like CZ. I love my SP01.

Well, the trigger action is much different than a typical 1911. However, since you have the SP01, you know that CZ triggers are just a different breed. I happen to like them. The grip is *big*, just like everyone says, but again, I like it. It's also a *bit* heavier than most 1911's I've shot (which, honestly, isn't that many - 3 that I can think of).

As far as the grip size goes...I am a newb, or at least a born-again newb...but the gun I bought was a consignment piece and it has a Crimson Trace grip on it which definitely felt like it fattened the grip up a bit from the standard grip. Might not be worth the $300+or- for the grip...but that is a thought that came to my mind. |

Under the poly, the metal has a black parkerizing-type treatment (like the inside of the slide). Unless you plan on using a paint type coating, let the plating company take off the polycoat. I have reshaped the beavertails on two of my CZ's and thus required a refinish (hardchrome). Techplate is local to you and very reasonably priced for hardchrome; if you bring in stripped down parts (bare frame, disassembled slide). They will strip off the poly as part of the deal. |

The CZ rubber grips are the best for a good grip, IMHO. Skateboard tape on the frontstrap is standard equipment on my CZ's. |

I currently have the standard rubber grips - the grip I get is good, it just doesn't seem to fill my hand completely. I ordered a custom set of wood grips from marschalgrips.com, with checkering, finger grooves and a thumbrest. Dennis is also adding 2mm palm swell on either side, so I'm hoping this will help make things more comfortable. I'll post pics when they arrive, which should be about a month from now.

Goodeye, real nice! I like the spyderco as well. I'm not sure about the .40 mags, but 9mm mec-gar mags have flat metal bases. Also check out the cz forum. I know some people wanted to change flat bases for rubber ones.

Favorite 9mm I've ever shot. Stainless guide rod and grips are the only additions and I see no need to modify it any further.

Thanks! That's an oldy but goody. How do you like your CZ 97B? I was thinking about adding one of those to the collection, but I haven't seen or picked up one and was wondering about how big of a gun it is.
